    That's gorgeous. I've just got an order in for 10x 3m lengths. I suspect it will be the best investment so far. See you later losers, my system is about to be taken to the next level!

    shin, i expect you may be right there i've heard great things about those cables.

    Some reviews even claim they are capable of passing electricty from one end to the other... can you imagine that...

    Whatever it is, it would probably be a lot cheaper there!

    Of course. Whenever you buy cables your not paying for the wire anyway, your paying for the girth ;)

    I think its just the big cigar ends I find objectionable. It really does look like a home enema kit or some weird sexual toy, or something! The wire sticking out the end looks uncomfortable. :eek:

    Today I just received 25 meters of screened balanced cable for £8.25, so it shows what end of the cable I'm on!

    Cables can be like jewelry and make a system look really cool, but sometimes it goes oh so wrong! So come on, what other ugly cables are there out there? Pics please!

    Shouldn't that have been home cinema kit or is that the same as home enema kit?

    Bugger I can't seem to find it now but did come across approx $25k of cables in some US guys system. Looked sweet with all kinds of cable lifters and and chunky inline RF filtering boxes.

    Simon, they are deflated.

    When having a bakeoff, they are orally inflated from either of the wooden end caps, thereby increasing girth and allowing them to both transform systems and cure room modes and cancer. They look a million dollars when blown like that. The Wytech Jade pneumatic pump is a rip off though. No real need to regularly check pressures, and a simple bike pump would suffice anyway at a tenth of the cost.
